If anything, white people are at a disadvantage due to being the most prejudiced against race. You're a sheep that needs to stop believing the media if you think white people have it better these days.

on one hand i wish white privilege existed because that would mean that i could benefit from it but on the other hand it would be nice to be openly recognized as the disadvantaged race because that way i could get away with being racist

@007sarodim whites dont have it any easier or harder than they did in 1777. they are not disadvantaged in any aspect of society. being stereotyped as rich and powerful is not at all a damaging view of the race.

@FEIkeandMia being white has affected you in every way possible from the personal to the periphreal

1. Black people have an extreme advantage over me in getting a job.
2. Black people get a free ride through school while people like me have to pay.
3. Black people get more respect on the streets (I was bullied grades K - 12 because of my skin color)
4. Black people get more attention in social situations and therefore make friends easier.

You have no clue what you're talking about, you just believe everything the media tells you.

Advantage? If a black and white person has the same exact resume for a job position, the person would just randomly pick one of them.... unless he's racist, and that seems to be what you're worrying about.

What about minorities who get things like scholarships for the sole fact that they're minorities tho

There's a college in this city that's a historically black college and I heard you can actually get a full ride going there if you're white lol.

seriously though I hate people constantly saying CHECK YOUR PRIVILEGE these days. Especially on tumblr. It's like damn, I didn't ask to be born a lower middle class heterosexual white girl. This is just who I am and I can't change it so I don't see the point of people trying to make others feel bad because of the situation they were born into.

No one has your interests in mind for trailer park trash. You will live and die penniless and uneducated. No one is representing you. No one has a special program open to only your kind. No one will hire your hick ass. You can make your life easier by accepting that you will be nothing if you are poor and white and embrace hopelessness.

You are more likely to benefit from Affirmative Action than any other minority. You are likely to be considered over men in certain industries by virtue of your gender and eliminated in others by the same token.

I'm not white, but I do kinda feel bad for some middle class white people, particularly young ones, because they are assumed to be privileged and may miss out on some benefits minorities might have.

This is often glossed over by idiots pushing "white guilt" and claiming "the system" has worked for whites, no matter their status in life. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, I live in a city where whites are as poor as any other people. Whites are also a minority here. "The system" treats poor people the same. It doesnt care about the color of your skin or where your ancestors came from. Sometimes, I think the vesti is retarded.

People often pushing white guilt are cognizant of the fact that some whites know they are privileged and feel guilty about it. It's a simple fact, in America at least, that whites have a proven advantage over blacks socially. Despite the fact that whites are minorities in certain areas of America, they are still considered the majority. The best example is New York; it is mostly people of colour and yet whites are still considered the majority. The fact that incarceration rates are higher for blacks over whites for the same crimes speaks volumes of the social inequality. The industrial prison complex and war on drugs have stifled any sort of attempt by a fragmented community of individuals gaining from progressing. Not to mention institutionalized racism and sexism that still occurs in several industries lol

Please just shut up, when im around other races I have to go out of my way to show them im not stereotypical, just shut the hell up you don't know anything. Not all attention is good attention.

Never said that. But being black does get you positive attention, whereas I usually get negative attention. "Haha you're so white, go get a spray tan Mr. KKK!" Would you go outside if you got treated like that every day? I don't think so.

Have fun feeling sorry for yourself even though you have it better than white people.Um.. yes? Being black always gets you positive attention.

So you live in some type of ghetto, because where I live acting "black" is considered bad and I grew up in a 90%+ black area.

I don't think anyone really denies that white privilege exists. I think the issue is that it gets overblown, some folks painting it as this insurmountable obstacle constantly keeping the black man down while the white man live in the lap of luxury. Get fucking real.

I live in an affluent neighborhood in the Silicon Valley. African-American culture has seeped into many areas of America and you'd be naive to think it only exists in the ghetto.

Why do your arguments always come back to you? Are you really going to generalize as dangerously as you have off your personal experiences and observations alone?
